These masses were held before daybreak, hence the Filipino term "Simbang Gabi" ([Mid]night Mass). Even today, Filipinos wake up very early in the morning to attend the Misa de Gallo as an expression of devotion to God. ...more on Wikipedia about "Misa de Gallo"

The Catholic hierarchy took over some government roles, especially in the rural areas . Although they were not completely diabolic, neither were they saints. The Friars were notorious for fathering children, overtaxing land, limiting native ascendency and refusing civil government interference since they were 'under 'God's jurisdiction'. Three famous priests were implicated in trumped up charges because they were struggling for native acendency. Their execution left a deep impression and outrage on many people including a future martyr and national hero who sought to open the eyes of passive natives to Spanish abuses. They were not totally evil either. Friars have also interceded for Filipinos when Spanish military and civil government were too harsh and provided counseling and education. The Noli Me Tangere exposed actual abuses by the friarchy in its satire and was quickly condemed by both the Spanish government and religious authorities. The friars and Jesuits were responsible for establishing some of Asia's oldest Universities and educational institutions in the Philippines. ...more on Wikipedia about "Roman Catholicism in The Philippines"

Santo Niño de Cebu is a representation of the Child Jesus, somewhat related to the Infant Jesus of Prague. Santo Niño de Cebu literally means "holy child of Cebu".

After the Cebuanos turned against the Spaniards, the Spaniards burned a good part of Cebu, and the image was caught in the blaze. ...more on Wikipedia about "Santo Niño"
Seeing this as an opportunity, some nationalistic Filipinos such as Isabelo de los Reyes proposed the creation of a new Filipino Church, separate from the control of Rome and doctrinally independent (236-237). His proposal was overwhelmingly approved by some radical sectors and the Filipino Church was called the Iglesia Filipina Independiente with Gregorio Aglipay, a prominent Filipino priest, as the head. With the founding of the Philippine Independent Church, the formal schism with Rome began. Despite popular support, others were reluctant to join, even Aglipay himself (237). He only accepted the post of Obispo Maximo or Supreme Bishop only after failed negotiations with Jesuit representatives (242). ...more on Wikipedia about "Separation of church and state in the Philippines"
The Sinulog festival is one of the grandest and most colorful festivals in the Philippines. The main festival is held each year on the third Sunday of January in Cebu City to honor the Santo Niño, or the child Jesus, who used to be the patron saint of the whole province of Cebu (since in the Catholic faith Jesus is not a saint, but God). It is essentially a dance ritual which remembers the Cebuano and Filipino people's pagan past and their acceptance of Christianity. ...more on Wikipedia about "Sinulog festival"
